Things to remember:

Water temperature:

Semi-aquatic plants require a tropical community aquarium with
water temperatures ranging between 72-78ÃÂº F (22-26ÃÂº C). Use an
aquarium heater to maintain water temperature.

Adding plants:

Whether you're just starting your aquarium or introducing new
plants into your tank, make sure to add only one or two plants at a
time.

Lighting:

Most tropical plants require sunlight each day, year round. The
duration and consistency are essential for plants to thrive.
Natural aquariums must be equipped with the means to provide 12
hours of simulated sunlight each day.

Plant fertilizer:

Fertilizer should only be added according to the dosage
instructions on the label, and only when needed (as in the case of
a water change). Plants will grow best if fertilized moderately and
regularly after water changes rather than given larger quantities
of fertilizer on a less-regular basis.

Fish, amphibians and plants:

Toads and frogs are highly recommended for a natural planted
aquarium- terrarium. Depending on the depth of the water and size
of the amphibians and water temperature certain species of fish can
be added.

Water changes:

Test water weekly toassess water quality. It is recommended that
10% of youraquarium water be changed per week. At the very least,
25% of your aquariumwater should be changed per month. For optimal
health, regular water changes not only prevent the undesirable
accumulation of excess nutrients, but also remove excess nitrates
and waste products of the fish and plants.

Aquarium placement:

Place your aquarium in a low-traffic area, away from direct
sunlight and drafts.

Planting your natural aquarium:

Foreground plants: Usually stay very short and help fill in the
front part of the aquarium.

If you notice any of the signs described above, check your
aquariumwater quality and consult an in-store Aquatics
Specialist.

Mondo Grass is NOT an aquatic plant
My wife brought this plant home and added it to a planted aquarium. The green blades or leaves started turning yellow and it looked like it was going to die. I took it out of the water and planted it in potting soil. The plant is doing great now and looks nice.

Not an aquatic plant
I bought 2 of these for my tank.
They started to rot after 2 weeks, so I did some research.
I have them planted in a flower bed because they should get blue flowers

Not a true aquatic plant.
I bought two of these a month ago, one has rotted away the other is in the process of rotting. Not for submersible applications!

SNAILS! And brown color.
I bought two of these plants about two months ago and within two weeks I began to notice a LOT of little snails crawling around my aquarium, which is not a problem for me, but is something to be aware of. Also, among all the other healthy plants in my tank, these two plants stick out as slightly brown in color. However, I've tried moving them to areas that receive more light in the tank, which has helped.
